What does it actually look like to practice sacrificial worship?
This week, Pastor Alvin dives into the heart of biblical worship: sacrifice. Drawing from Romans 12:1 and John 4:23-24, he unpacks why worship was never meant to be convenient, and why God isn't asking for your leftovers. He's asking for everything.
Using the picture of a bank deposit, Pastor Alvin reminds us that God gave us His all, so it's only reasonable that He's asking for ours in return. This message challenges us to move past a Sunday morning routine and into a lifestyle of costly, sacrificial devotion. Because biblical worship was never about convenience. It's about what you're willing to give up.
How costly is your worship? How sacrificial is it? This week's word will make you ask yourself both.
Scripture references:
- Romans 12:1
- John 4:23-24

Is your relationship with God one-sided?
This week, Pastor Alvin opens up James 4, Luke 19, and John 15 to challenge us with a simple question: are we truly matching the God who has already given us everything? Every good relationship needs mutual attraction, mutual interest, and mutual service, and God proved his devotion long before we ever turned toward him. Through the story of Abraham and Isaac, we see a God who leads by example and only asks us to give what he's already given first. He is Emmanuel, God with us, and he's still asking the same question today.
Do you believe he wants you? And do you want him back? This message will challenge you to stop performing for God and start truly matching his heart through honest prayer and real devotion.

How do you know whether you're saving or spending your energy on the Lord?
This week, we kick off 21 Days of Prayer and Pastor Alvin unpacks what it really means to wait on the Lord in his message titled "Spend It on the Lord."
Drawing from Isaiah 40, Isaiah 55, and Proverbs 14, he reminds us that God's ways are often the opposite of our instincts. We think saving our energy grows our energy. Jesus says spending it on Him does, and He says the same about our time, our money, our talent (Luke 6:38, Matthew 16:25). Pastor Alvin shows how waiting isn't passive. It's active, like a server tending to a table, learning the person and priorities of Jesus.
As we give instead of hold back, our desires start to align with His. And there's no greater joy than that. This is the mindset God wants us to carry into these 21 days.

What do you do when life isn't the way it should be?
Guest speaker Pastor Charne Pretorius from 3C Church in South Africa joins us with a powerful word from 2 Samuel 21:1-14, the story of a woman who refused to let her sons' story end where it seemed to end. When a promise made generations earlier finally came due, she had a choice to make. And she chose to put her weight where it belonged.
Pastor Charne reminds us that life isn't fair. There's an enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he's never been on our side. But we were never meant to carry the weight of things that shouldn't be. We're called to cast our cares on Jesus, the one who cares for us, because he doesn't just carry the weight. He took the fall for it.
Pastor Charne also shares her own testimony, forty days of prayer and a victory that could only be God's timing. Whatever you're standing over right now, whatever feels too heavy to put down, this message will show you where to lay it. Everything can be the way it should be.
Scripture references:
- 2 Samuel 21:1-14

What does it really mean to be one with Christ?
Building on last week's message on the new wineskin, Pastor Alvin unpacks Matthew 9:17 and shows why God can't pour new things into the old version of us. Through John 15, he introduces the Vinedresser and makes it clear that pruning isn't punishment. It's proof you're already bearing fruit.
We're either in Christ or we're not. Bearing much fruit or bearing none. Pastor Alvin challenges us to examine our hearts and our actions, because our lives reveal what we actually believe, and walks through the three levels of judgment: self-judgment, chastisement, and condemnation, making the case that judging yourself first is always the better path. The new wineskin isn't just a new heart. It's a new mind, the mind of Christ. Discover what it looks like to think, live, and walk fully in step with him.
Scripture references:
- Matthew 9:17
- John 15:1-5
- 2 Corinthians 13:5
- 1 Corinthians 11:31-32
- Proverbs 3:5-6

God has new wine for you. But new wine can only be poured into a new wineskin.
Pastor Alvin builds on last week's message, Become a New Wineskin, and takes us deeper into what that actually looks like. Drawing from Matthew 9:17 and Matthew 16:25, he unpacks why following Jesus was never meant to be an addition to our lives. It's a replacement. That means denying yourself daily. Dead to who you were, alive in Christ, every single day. When your faith is in Jesus, God calls you new wineskin and fills you with new wine: new heart, new joy, new relationships, new everything. Discover why the wineskin matters just as much as the wine, and what it looks like to finally overflow. Scripture references:
- Matthew 9:17
- Matthew 16:25

What if the thing holding you back isn't what God wants to give you, but what you're trying to hold it in? In this message, Become a New Wine Skin, Pastor Alvin teaches why coming as you are was never meant to mean staying as you are. Drawing from Matthew 9, Luke 17, and more, he walks us through Jesus' words about new wine and old wineskins, and why anything less than a tight grip won't cut it. God wants to pour something new into your life. But that means we've got to be willing to become someone new too. Being born again isn't a one time decision we look back on. It's a daily choice to let go of the old and receive what God has for us. Learn what it means to hold on tight, let go of the old, and become a new wine skin. Scripture references:
- John 17:14-18
- Matthew 10:16
- Matthew 7:13-14
- Luke 17:21
- Matthew 9:17

What if the thing you've been waiting for is something God already gave you? In this message, Pastor Alvin walks through John 5, Ephesians 3, Romans 10, and Hebrews 4 to show us that power and responsibility go hand in hand. Jesus didn't touch the man at the pool. He gave him a word, and that word stirred up enough faith to heal a 38 year condition in an instant. We don't have to wait on God for what he's already given. His mercy, his word, his spirit, faith, and power are already ours. The only thing left to do is mix it with our own faith and take action. If you've been sitting there hoping someone else would move for you, this message will show you that everything you need is already in your hands.
Scripture references:
- John 5:1-9
- Ephesians 3:20-21
- Romans 10:6-13
- Hebrews 4:2

In this message, Pastor Alvin unpacks the Parable of the Talents and makes one thing clear: what God has given you isn't just for you. His power is His property, and He's entrusted it to us with a real expectation. Not a suggestion. An expectation. And how we steward what He's placed in us has eternal consequences. Drawing from Matthew 25, John 7, and more, Pastor Alvin challenges us to stop waiting for living waters to flow to us and start letting them flow from us. Because that's what true belief looks like. Faith isn't just what keeps us calm under pressure. It's what keeps us moving. And the power of the Holy Spirit is what makes the whole journey possible. So here's the question: Are you a fan of Jesus, or have you walked His path? Scripture references:
